Abstract
In the design of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs)-aided visible light communication (VLC) systems, most studies have focused on the deployment of mirror arrays and metasurfaces on walls to influence signal propagation and enhance communication performance. This paper provides a new research direction in the design and performance optimization of RIS-aided VLC systems whereby voltage-controlled tunable liquid crystals (LCs) are deployed as part of the VLC receiver. The purpose of the LC RIS is to provide incident light steering and intensity amplification in order to improve the received signal strength and the corresponding achievable data rate. More specifically, an LC RIS-based VLC receiver design is proposed and its operating principles and the channel model for a VLC system with such a receiver are provided. Since the refractive index of the LC RIS plays a critical role in the wave-guiding and light amplification capabilities of this novel receiver, a rate maximization problem is considered to achieve the optimal refractive index and the required voltage to obtain the best light amplification and data rate performances. This communication design problem is a non-convex optimization problem for which a metaheuristic approach is developed based on the sine-cosine algorithm. Simulation results are used to confirm the considerable data rate improvement by the proposed LC RIS-based VLC receiver and optimization algorithm when compared to a VLC receiver without the LC RIS and a baseline scheme, respectively.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
